Happy Midsummer!

Or, for my Swedish and Finnish friends, hope you are having a lovely midsommar, or Juhannus.

We celebrated by riding bikes into the English Garden, Munich's big city park. We rode up to a beer garden at the northern border of the park and had dinner, and of course beer. It stayed light until after 10 PM.

Then we rode our bikes home into the city, through the garden, in the dark. All along the river there were groups of people, hundreds of them gathered around fires and candles, eating and drinking and enjoying the evening. There were fireflies in the bushes along the path. And our bike lights were flickering as we rode along.

We made it home safely, despite the beer. What a gorgeous night.
